We discuss how the judgment and fear-based language often used in today's Christian churches can be damaging. Ed defines Christ Consciousness and the challenges that can arise when we feel it is unsafe to turn our reflection inward. He shares how we are invited to have a personal relationship with God, yet that exact personal reflection could also be labeled heresy within the church. The conversation takes a very interesting turn when Ed discusses the absent years of Jesus...2024-02-1542 minDriven 2 Thrive: Purpose, Growth, and Lasting Impact For MenDriven 2 Thrive: Purpose, Growth, and Lasting Impact For MenEmbracing Authenticity: Dr. Ed Slover on Navigating Challenges of MasculinitySend us a textDoes this sound familiar?

This relates to (most) people's dislike or intolerance to uncertainty. When people feel uncertain, they experience anxiety. Uncertainty + anxiety = fear. And all of us know that fear is a powerful emotion (some may argue that it's even more powerful than love) because fear keeps us safe from real or imagine threats. When we feel threatened, particular in the face of being disconnected from others, we guard our fears in a variety of ways, such as through resistance, anger, avoidance, and the like. The question is...2022-12-1120 minThe Quest4Life PodcastThe Quest4Life PodcastS2 Episode #22: Think for YourselfEach of us likes to believe we think for ourselves, but do we? As children, the adults in our life, such as our parents, teachers, and coaches, download their worldview and beliefs and we, generally, accept that as truth. These truths form our beliefs. While this isn't necessarily a good or bad thing, at some point when we become adults, we realize that we've been living by other people's beliefs. Still further, there are sources of information, such as the mainstream media or other experts or authorities that attempt to imprint their worldview or beliefs on us.

Interestingly, humor was once framed negatively, and it was viewed as a way for people to be demeaning or disparaging of others as a way to demonstrate superiority or vulgarity. In effect, humor was considered undesirable behavior and something to be avoided. Fortunately, research evolves and advances, and with the development of the field of positive psychology, humor helps people develop greater emotional well-being and optimism. And while no one knows definitively why we laugh, the physical, mental, and social health...2022-11-2720 minYouth Sports Safety UpdateYouth Sports Safety UpdateRugby Sports with Mary SloverAn interesting episode with Mary Lockwood Slover, LAT, ATC, PES who works with wheelchair and regular rugby league players.  She shares her many years experience with rugby and how she has transitioned as well to adaptive sports wheelchair rugby.  Recently returned from their first international competition in England. Mary is a graduate of the California University of Pennsylvania (now Penn West) and earned her Masters degree as a Performance Enhancement Specialist.  Mom of two, previously employed at St. Vincent's (Ascension Health) Jacksonville, Preferred Physical Therapy, and served as AT for St. John's Country Day School.  Head AT for J...2022-11-2225 minThe Quest4Life PodcastThe Quest4Life PodcastS2 Episode #20: Habits of High PerformersIt's no accident high performers consistently achieve exemplary results.

And is this the story you want to tell? The answer to the first question is "yes," if for no other reason that if it wasn't, you'd tell a different story. The answer to the second question is less obvious. If you're achieving a measure of satisfaction or attention, it's obvious that's the story you want to tell, but you will lack fulfillment because fulfillment cannot exist in the midst of dysfunction. It is a mindset of lack, which will never lead you to the life you want.

It's a form of intrapersonal communication ("within") where a person acts as both the sender and receiver of messages to engage in "self-talk." Such self-talk can be both positive and negative. On one hand, it can be uplifting and supportive. On the other, it can be negative and self-defeating. And if the foundation of all of our relationships is "the conversation," how we talk to ourselves, ultimately, affects the relationship we have...2022-11-0620 minFrom Embers To Excellence™From Embers To Excellence™Interview with Dr. Ed Slover, Author of “Q.U.E.S.T. – Navigating the Journey through Life and Business”Dr. Slover is a Business Consultant, Certified Transformation Life Coach, Certified Resilience Practitioner, Host of The Quest4Life Podcast, and Founder of Quest Consulting Service, LLC.

This episode seeks to demystify six (6) of the most popular diet protocols to allow you to make smarter, more informed decisions should you be considering starting a diet.

We like to believe for ourselves that we can and do live by a set or moral principles or standards and that we never violate them. Unfortunately, such a belief is misguided, as we all engage in behavior that is inconsistent with what we claim. Let's face it, living by an absolute set of moral standards is next to impossible to do and rather than do that, we engage in hypocrisy, if for no other reason that it is simply easier to do.

Think back to a time when you hurt someone you cared about. It goes without saying that both scenarios have happened to all of us. Were you able to forgive them and let go? Were they able to forgive you and let go? Forgiveness is more complicated than people think for a variety of reasons because when we get hurt or feel wronged, we likely experience anger, bitterness, and resentment. The question is whether those feelings provide any long-term benefit to our lives and relationships.

Our judgment and decision making are clouded by many factors, such as emotions, motivation, and/or limitations in our ability to process information. Because of this, we often engage in cognitive biases, which are errors in thinking when we process information in the world around us in the brain's pursuit of simplifying information. And while such biases (or "heuristics") are quite accurate, they can get us into trouble or lead us to miss out on opportunities to make our lives better.

People that engage in this type of attention seeking behavior have their behavior reinforced whenever they are given attention, whether positive or negative.

No truer words have been spoken. Human beings perpetually seek comfort, which is not necessarily a bad thing until it becomes a bad thing. Achieving comforts in life, while nice and convenient, can lead to a type of self-reinforcing behavior that keeps us "stuck" in those comforts, which can devolve into complacency and, thus, further devolving into a loss of purpose, poor physical health, and depression. The antithesis of this, of course, is to...2022-09-0427 minThe Quest4Life PodcastThe Quest4Life PodcastS2 Episode #8: Why We Do Anything - Part 1 (Romantic Relationships)Human motivation is multifaceted and multilayered. That is obvious. What is less obvious are the reasons why. One primary reason is the idea of self-reinforcing behavior, which is the process by which people control their own behavior by rewarding themselves when they achieve a certain standard or meet or exceed a goal. This reward is born out of the desire to maximize real or perceived "payoffs" and minimize real or perceived "costs." In romantic relationships, people constantly evaluate the "cost-to-benefit" ratio of the relationship. This informs them as to whether they choose to stay or leave.

This is a fascinating perspective with regard to the echo chambers in which we live our lives, particularly when we take an honest look at why it is so challenging to spend time in the discomfort of alternate thoughts, ideas, and beliefs.

Does that mean we are procrastinators? Not necessarily. Technically speaking, procrastination is the CHRONIC avoidance of unpleasant tasks and/or the active pursuit of distractions that are more enjoyable than the tasks we must complete. As with anything, procrastination takes various forms and has psychological roots grounded in low self-confidence, anxiety, and/or a lack of structure. And despite the reality that there may be short-term benefit - in the form of emotional protection - habitual procrastination brings a whole host of physical, emotional, and practical costs.

Whether you are a driver, motorcyclist, bike rider, skier, or the like, our vehicles and our bodies go where our eyes are focused. And where our attention and focus goes, so goes our energy, which can go one of two ways: 1) paying attention to and focusing on the negative leads to negative energy; or 2) paying attention to and focusing on the positive leads to, more often than not, positive energy and, ultimately, better outcomes in life.

And while there are "arrivals," there is no such thing at "arriving," and in order to prepare yourself to achieve the next thing, you must build a strong psychological, emotional, physical, and spiritual foundation that must be tended to continuously.

Neuroscience research is clear on this point. The human brain is unable to give 100% focus and attention on two or more things at the same time and attempting to do so makes us less efficient, less productive, and prone to mistakes.

That phrase, that sentiment has been, in many ways, blindly accepted as true, but, in reality, it is a myth, a fallacy. By itself, acquiring knowledge is good, but it fails to account for one fundamental thing: TAKING ACTION.

Fortunately, like any other skill, we can improve our emotional intelligence and become better for ourselves so we can become better for others, especially those that we care about the most.

The pursuit of external validation throughout our teenage years and into adulthood, however, perpetuates an "addiction" that can lead to various forms of pain, questions one's self-worth, and a life of imbalance.
